Noel M Murphy , NC May 23, 2017 Gas leak in the oven Repair man said that the part alone would cost more than $300.00. I checked it out on YouTube and saw that the actual replacement was an easy task. I contacted appliancepartspros.com and spoke to Wendy, who sorted me out with the correct part which arrived in two days ($115.00). It took me less than 15 minutes to replace the part, no more leak. Thanks appliancepartspros.com and Wendy for your cost effective and speedy service.

Gene P Northfield , VT January 08, 2024 Appliance: Model 790.74232314 Roaring blowtorch like sound in oven less than 5 years old. The new gas valve did the trick. I had replaced the ignitor which had been not always working, but this blowtorch sound became even more common. Then I realized the sound was from flame in the air adjustment area of the burner. Also a small flame persisted there long after the oven was off. Clearly the valve was not shutting off, so I shelled out the big bucks for a new valve. Easy fix because the gas lines screw in and seal without putty and I appreciated reading that you need to crank down the nozzle a couple turns if you have lp. Literally a 10 minute fix and the problem is solved. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Wrench Set
